So, I was watching a CNN Insight program last night on Professor Churchill from the University of Colorado. He is becoming famous for comments he made almost three years ago in an essay shortly after the Sept. 11 attacks, when he made a claim that the people who died in the attacks sort of - "deserved to die."
It's controversial no doubt. Why he made comments in this way, I'm not sure, but he makes some interesting points about how Americans often do not understand how the things they do affect the rest of the world (showed more completely on Insight than in this article). However, to make a comment calling the victims "Nazi's" was downright stupid. Check out this article to read more about this issue. Is it a free speech issue...? Why did he make comments that were so obviously directed to create controversy...?
